Answer:

4 inches on each edge of the cube

Step-by-step explanation:

A closed box will have minimum area when it is a cube. For a volume of 64 in^3, the edge length must be ∛64 = 4 inches.

_____

Using derivatives, the base edge length can be defined as x, and the surface area as ...

S = 2x^2 + 4x(64/x^2)

This is minimized when dS/dx = 0:

dS/dx =- 4x -256/x^2 = 0

x^3 = 64

x = ∛64 = 4 . . . . . should look familiar

The graph of F(x) can be flipped over a certain line to produce the graph of its inverse. What is the equation of that line?

OlgaM077 [116]

The correct answer is: 
y=x.

Explanation: 
In order to find the inverse of a function, we first switch x and y; then we isolate y. When we do this, we are saying that x and y equal the same thing, or y=x.
